I've been thinking about going treeless on one of my boys because he's kind of hard to fit and am curious which treeless would you all recommend if I'm looking for one that lets me keep my feet more underneath my body or just a little forward with free swinging fenders so I can still sit down deep around the barrel?

I loved my Circle Y JBN amazing fit and ride! But, the reason I sold it was because the stirrups are too forward and I hated it! Felt like I was getting left behind and couldn't get up and ride for barrel racing!For a trail saddle, yes it was nice! If they made them more straight hung I would have kept it!

I bought one and was actually happy it wasn't as advertised so I sent it back. It was the biggest piece of junk I've sat in, in a long time. I really don't get people liking them. I did wonder if the Lisa Lockhart rides and sits you different. Sure looks a lot better.

I have a Deb Sibley and you can adjust the stirrups more forward or back....it takes several rides to get it right but once you do, it sits really well. The holes are close adjustments so that it is not like other saddles where one place is too long and the next hole up is too short....really love this saddle.

If you want to go truly treeless, the Tammy or Jackie holds your legs pretty stable, a lil forward, but does allow movement. The Jackie is more free in movement
